Technology has nothing to do with gender, but the fact is that women working in the technology field still account for significantly less than men. Focusing on the field of AI, the AI Now Institute published a report in 2019.The report said that about 80% of AI research professors are men, and among AI researchers at Facebook and Google, women account for only 15%.
Although there are fewer women in the industry, there are many outstanding women among them. They lead technological innovation and gradually become the backbone of industry change. On the occasion of International Women's Day,HyperAI has specially compiled the power of "her" who have achieved brilliant results in the field of AI,In the futureEncouraging more women to join AI research.

Final Thoughts
As Fei-Fei Li once said,「Coming from a tech background, from Stanford students to young Googlers, I’ve seen many incredibly talented young women searching for their calling."
Technology is the keyword of today's era. It is everywhere and dominates the world we live in. Not only the field of AI, but the entire field of technology is in an excellent era. I believe that in the new wave of technology, more female engineers will emerge. They will use their wisdom to inject new vitality into the field of AI and even the entire technology circle.
at last,HyperAI wishes all female engineers a happy International Women's Day!
